A police official told the agency, "A team under sub inspector Virendra Bhosle held Hegde a day before he was supposed to get married to another girl. A 30-year-old woman, who works as a beautician, had last week filed a complaint of rape against him. The woman said they knew each other for eight years and he had, in June last year, proposed marriage, which she accepted."

However, their relationship went awry soon after and she alleged that he forcibly exploited her sexually. The lady, who filed a report in DN Nagar Police Station in Andheri, has also alleged that Kumar has collected Rs 50,000 from her on April 27 by claiming that his mother had passed away. However, he went radio silent after evading to his hometown and even switched off his mobile.
